I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, D

Sorry I think I overwrote my initial question. I'm getting the error after I've added the commands in the profile. I've added the "$AdminSessionADSettings.ViewEntireForest = $true" command as part of the profile but I keep getting the error; The term '.ViewEntireForest = True' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Could you please try this command via Exchange 2007 EMS? [PS] C:\Document and settings\ Administrator>$adminsessionADsettings [PS] C:\Document and settings\Administrator>$adminsessionADsettings.ViewEntireForest=$true What’s the version of OS you run the script? Could you please post your script?

Try changing your profile From: Set-Location c:\ & "$AdminSessionADSettings.ViewEntireForest = $true" TO: Set-Location c:\ Add-PSSnapin *Exchange* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $AdminSessionADSettings.ViewEntireForest = $true DJ Grijalva | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | www.persistentcerebro.com

DJ, That worked thanks. I have another question. We are migrating our Exchange server from 2007 to 2010 and I've been trying to change the profile by modifying Exchange.ps1. I noticed the line in the script "set-adserversettings -viewentireforest $false" and changed it to '$true' but when I launch the shell it hasn't changed the 'viewentireforest' value to true. I can run the script again from the shell and it does change it to true. Any ideas why it doesn't change the value? Thanks, D

My opinion would be to leave the default exchange.ps1 alone and just modify the default users profile so it will apply to all the users on you Utility machine. The default profile should be at "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0" then it will apply to any instance of powershell that a user opens, whether its the Exchange shell link or just running powershell.exe DJ Grijalva | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | www.persistentcerebro.com

It looks like set-adserversettings" can only be applied per instance. I get the this error; The term 'get-adserversettings' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, func tion, script file, or operable program.
